Nice Sweet Caporal T206 Hal Chase, in his dark cap throwing variation (there are 4 different Chase cards in the set). "Prince Hal" was a major star in the deadball era, with writers and fans at the time praising his high skill level, his joyous, enthusiastic attitude, and in particular his at the time revolutionary defensive play at 1B. Despite all the contemporary accolades, Chase had a dark side, and was quietly banished from the game after the 1919 Black Sox Scandal. He was accused of gambling on games and bribing teammates and others to throw games. His name turned up several times in various investigations, and by late 1920 he was out of organized baseball for good. This nice T206 grades 3 VG by SGC.
